      <h2>Searching the Index Fungorum database</h2>
      <p>Searching Index Fungorum, and the other databases, works best if you 
        have 'cookies' enabled on your browser. Disabling cookies will stop you 
        from navigating between pages of records and traversing the taxonomic 
        hierarchy. </p>
      <p> 
      <p>Search for publication details of a fungus name by entering either the 
        name or the specific epithet. Your entry can be right-truncated, e.g. 
        'Agaricus am' will find all names within the genus 'Agaricus' , with the 
        first two letters of the epithet as 'am'. </p>
      <p>The database search restricts you to 5,500 records. If you enter something 
        as vague as 'A' you will <b>not</b> get all the records - try and be a 
        bit more specific. The limit is sufficient to return all records for the 
        largest genus, providing you really want to scroll through 26 pages of 
        results. Please be kind to our server and be specific, literally! 
            <p>Click on an entry to see more data. Full publication details are provided 
              for some entries from CABI's <a href="http://www.cabi.org/AbstractDatabases.asp?PID=514">Index 
              of Fungi</a>. However, full details of names published during the 
              last 5 years have been omitted. If you want the data then take out 
              a subscription to the publication! 
            <p>Entries containing '[GSD]' have onward links to <a href="../GSD/Gsd.htm">Global 
        Species Databases</a> full synonymy data. 
      <p>For most entries the taxonomic hierarchy attached to a species is necessarily 
        derived from the nomenclatural position of the genus through its type 
        (thus <i>Helotium</i> appears in the Tricholomataceae because the type 
        of <i>Helotium</i> is a basidiomycete). Only in GSD data is the taxonomic 
        position of a species known through the position of the currently accepted 
        name (thus <i>Xyloma gyrans</i> appears as 'incertae sedis' because the 
        type of <i>Xyloma</i> is incertae sedis, but <i>Xyloma</i> <i>gyrans</i> 
        is a synonym of <i>Rhytisma acerinum</i> which is Rhytismataceae, Rhytismatales). 
        Thus for GSD data, you should follow the link to the current name, or 
        generate the GSD species synonymy to determine the accepted taxonomic 
        position of the species.
